Special Symbols. Scarab Wild multipliers and FS symbols cannot appear simultaneously on the playing field during the base game or the DESERT FURY bonus.
Scarab Wild Multipliers And Re-spins
The Scarab Wild Multiplier acts as a Wild and substitutes for all paying symbols in the paytable. When it lands on the game board, the Scarab Wild Multiplier is assigned a multiplier value. This value is applied to all wins involving the symbol.
If a payline contains more than one Scarab Wild Multiplier, the multiplier values are summed before being applied to the win. Scarab Wild Multipliers appear on the reels with one of the following additive values: 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 10x, 25x, 50x, 100x, or 200x.
After all regular wins have been processed, any Scarab Wild Multipliers that appear trigger a re-spin. During the re-spin, the Scarab Wild Multiplier remains in the position it landed in, and new symbols spin across the reels. If a new Scarab Wild Multiplier appears during the re-spin, an additional re-spin is triggered. Re-spins continue until no more Scarab Wild Multipliers appear or there are no more available positions. New payline wins are awarded at the end of each re-spin.
Firestorms
During a re-spin, there’s a chance that Firestorm will activate before new symbols land. When Firestorm is active, no new symbols land, and Firestorm randomly increases the multiplier value of all Scarab Wild Multipliers, adding one of the following values to the existing multipliers: 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 10x, 25x, 50x, or 100x.
After the Scarab Wild Multipliers increase, new symbols land and new payline wins are awarded. The multiplier value can increase up to 999x.
Sandstorms
During a re-spin, there’s a chance that Sandstorm will activate before new symbols land.
When Sandstorm is active, no new symbols land, and Sandstorm shifts all Scarab Wild Multipliers one reel to the left. After the shift, new symbols land, and the game board stabilizes. New payline wins are then awarded.
Scarab Wild Multipliers cannot be shifted if they are on the leftmost reel or if Scarab Wild Multipliers on an adjacent reel on the same line are locked.
Firestorms and Sandstorms cannot be activated during the same re-spin.
Bonus Game
Desert Fury
Activate this bonus game with 8 free spins by landing 3 FS Scatter symbols simultaneously in the base game.

Storming Sphinx
Activate this 10-free spin bonus game by landing 4 FS Scatter symbols simultaneously in the base game.

Furthermore, all Scarab Multiplier Wilds that land remain on the reels until the end of the bonus. They retain their position until displaced by a Sandstorm. The multiplier value remains for the entire bonus until increased by a Firestorm.

- 2 FS symbols award +2 free spins

Paylines
The winning combination requirements stated in the main game also apply during bonus features or free spins, unless otherwise stated. Each bet entitles you to all winning combinations, unless otherwise stated.
You win if identical symbols appear on one of the following specified paylines on adjacent reels from left to right, starting with the leftmost reel. There are 19 possible paylines in this game. The number of each symbol required for a win is specified in the paytable.
Long-forgotten legends say that only one man remained standing when the dust settled in the desert…
With the heart of a lion, the last defender of the Kingdom of the Nile had one more mission before his eternal rest. A threat to the kingdom looms on the horizon, and the time has come to unite with a desert warrior in the eye of the storm to protect the treasure’s riches from intruders!
